Summoning Salt goes into SMB1 4-2. Also, he calls it "Super Mario Bros" and not "Brothers," and that is driving me up the wall.

joseph anderson did a review of odyssey and pronounces mario wrong. the review is 2 hours long.

reminded me of the wario 4 runner who mispronounced wario at one of the agdqs.

i don't know the specifics of this, but last time i watched her she was extremely extremely mentally unwell to the point that i unfollowed her on twitch, and refusing to get any help. she's lashed out before without any reason, maybe something did happen that we don't know about but at least from outward appearances she still had an amicable relationship with the other big-name zelda runners i thought.

They appear to have gotten a redirect working now. Is Narcissa okay? I literally haven't watched that stream since back when she was Cosmo and speedrunning Wind Waker.

Oh I didn’t mean y’all were talking about it as if it was “drama”, apologies for the vagueness. I meant like, the speedrun subreddit or discords or twitch chats or whatever. Something like this being just another piece of speed-drama to discuss with speedfriends. This thread is smart and good

she has endured a lot of bullshit due to her transition because being trans on the internet makes you a target of all kinds of awful bullshit from scumbags. i've mentioned it before, but loving cyberdemon even ran a subreddit dedicated solely to harassing her.

at the same time she has also said that she suffers from intense depression both before and after her transition, compounding all of that. i don't want to go into details but her twitch when i last watched it was just a giant loving bummer, i unfollowed her because it was really sad to watch. she needs help and i hope she gets it.

Last time I saw her twitch she has shaved her head and everyone in there was harassing her. I tried to say something nice about how my son watched her videos and thought she was cool, then got the gently caress outta there.

No. Transitioning isn't a magic medicine for the mental health issues suffered by trans people, it's a wildly different outcome for each person (some thrive, some struggle harder, etc) but along with transitioning people need proper guidance, often in the form of a mental health professional. From my understanding, she's self-medicating (perhaps this has stopped or I'm simply misinformed) and that's also no bueno. She has a lot of very difficult issues and is receiving little help for them although again, my information is perhaps outdated.

There's several studies about trans people before and after transitioning and what it does to them mentally and it's not the cure-all one might originally think it would be, which is often a compounding issue in the current struggle for trans people because to a lot of people the idea of transitioning is like changing a light bulb or something and it should work automatically and if it doesn't then why pay for the light bulb. If it doesn't worsen things like depression it quite often doesn't help. That doesn't mean the person regrets transitioning or anything like that but the overall conclusion seems to be they need continued help with their mental health.

Very classy, especially since what Narcissa did was monumentally unprofessional. Though I suppose even if ZSR did something lovely to her and deserved it, it's still real easy to the high road following a stunt like that.

The combined Celeste love of SexRex, grandpoobear, and Ryukahr got me to buy it without waiting for a sale so the game's maker should thank those dudes for promoting more sales. I don't know when I'll get around to playing it, though, but everything I've seen of it so far looks super fun, and I imagine the game will have a fun speedrun to watch.

The game probably wouldn't have been on my radar at all if not for SexRex posting about it and now I can't put it down.


Also the Todd Rodger's pastebin is something special. People proved scientifically that your record was impossible and rather than stay silent or apologize you write up a big diatribe about how the person who did so was rude for not instead talking to you about it first as if you were old friends or something. Also standing ground and still claiming the score is real. What a dickhead.

Perhaps the 5.51 was inside us all along, waiting for us to cheat it out and gain fame/notoriety among a small nerdy subset of the populace.
